Psalm 118 (119): 105-112

The prophets foretold that the Saviour would be born of the Virgin Mary.

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet,

a light for my journey.

I have firmly sworn to keep your just laws.

Lord, I am greatly afflicted:

revive me as you have promised.

Lord, accept the vows I make,

and teach me your judgements.

I hold my life in my hands,

I remember your laws.

The wicked placed a trap for me,

but I did not wander from your commandments.

Your decrees are my inheritance for ever,

they are the joy of my heart:

my heart is set on carrying them out,

for ever, until the end.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

Ps 69:2-6Deus, in adiutorium meum intende

“Domine, salva nos, perimus” (Mt 8, 25).

2Deus, in adiutórium meum inténde;*

Dómine, ad adiuvándum me festína.

3Confundántur et revereántur,*

qui quærunt ánimam meam.

Avertántur retrórsum et erubéscant,*

qui volunt mihi mala.

4Convertántur propter confusiónem suam,*

qui dicunt mihi: «Euge, euge».

5Exsúltent et læténtur in te omnes, qui quærunt te,*

et dicant semper: «Magnificétur Deus», qui díligunt salutáre tuum.

6Ego vero egénus et pauper sum;*

Deus, ad me festína.

Adiútor meus et liberátor meus es tu;*

Dómine, ne moréris.

Glória Patri et Fílio*

et Spirítui Sancto.

Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*

et in sǽcula sæculórum.

Amen.

Psalm 69 (70)God, come to my aid

God, come to my aid;

Lord, hurry to help me.

Throw into fear and confusion

the ones who seek my life.

Throw them back, ashamed,

the ones who seek harm for me.

Turn them back in confusion,

the ones who mock me.

But let all who seek you rejoice in you.

Let them always say ‘God is great,’

those who delight in your saving help.

But I am poor and destitute.

God, hurry to me.

You are my helper and liberator:

Lord, do not delay.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

Ps 74:2-11Dominus summus iudex

“Deposuit potentes de sede et exaltavit humiles” (Lc 1, 52).

2Confitébimur tibi, Deus;†

confitébimur et invocábimus nomen tuum:*

narrábimus mirabília tua.

3Cum statúero tempus,*

ego iustítias iudicábo.

4Si liquefácta est terra et omnes, qui hábitant in ea,*

ego confirmávi colúmnas eius.

5Dixi gloriántibus: «Nolíte gloriári!»*

et delinquéntibus: «Nolíte exaltáre cornu!

6Nolíte exaltáre in altum cornu vestrum;*

nolíte loqui advérsus Deum protérva».

7Quia neque ab oriénte neque ab occidénte*

neque a desértis exaltátio.

8Quóniam Deus iudex est:*

hunc humíliat et hunc exáltat.

9Quia calix in manu Dómini*

vini meri plenus mixto.

Et inclinávit ex hoc in hoc;†

verúmtamen usque ad fæces epotábunt,*

bibent omnes peccatóres terræ.

10Ego autem annuntiábo in sǽculum,*

cantábo Deo Iacob.

11Et ómnia córnua peccatórum confríngam,*

et exaltabúntur córnua iusti.

Glória Patri et Fílio*

et Spirítui Sancto.

Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*

et in sǽcula sæculórum.

Amen.

Prophétæ prædicavérunt nasci Salvatórem de Vírgine María.

Psalm 74 (75)The Lord, judge over all

We shall give you thanks, O God,

give thanks and call on your name.

We shall recount your marvels.

At the moment that I have decreed

I shall hand down my judgements.

If the earth trembles with all that is in it,

it is I who set firm its pillars.

I have said to the boastful, ‘Stop boasting!’

I have said to the wicked, ‘Stop showing off your strength!’

Stop flaunting your strength to the heavens;

stop speaking boldly against God!

For triumph does not come

from the east or the west;

it does not come from the wilderness.

It is God who is the judge:

he raises some, abases others.

The cup in the Lord’s hand

is foaming with wine that is drugged.

He pours it out and they will drain it.

All the sinners of the earth shall drink.

But I will proclaim him for ever,

and sing of the God of Jacob.

I will smash the strength of the wicked,

and the power of the just shall prevail.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

The prophets foretold that the Saviour would be born of the Virgin Mary.
